Britain’s largest car manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover, has announced the beginning of its cyber recovery, with its digital systems now coming back online.
The car manufacturer, owned by Tata Motors in India, revealed it had suffered a cyber attack at the beginning of September, announcing it had shut down its systems to prevent further damage.
“JLR has been impacted by a cyber incident. We took immediate action to mitigate its impact by proactively shutting down our systems,” Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said in a recent but undated statement on its corporate website.
“We are now working at pace to restart our global applications in a controlled manner.”
The company said it had begun a “phased restart” of its digital systems and had alerted suppliers and other parties that relevant systems were now functional.
“We have informed colleagues, suppliers and retail partners that sections of our digital estate are now up and running. The foundational work of our recovery program is firmly underway.”
JLR said that elements like its Global Parts Logistics Centre and invoice processing systems are now back online, allowing retailers and suppliers to continue business.
“The financial system we use to process the wholesales of vehicles has been brought back online and we are able to sell and register vehicles for our clients faster, delivering important cash flow,” the company added.
However, the company has not provided an update regarding its factory operations, which have suffered outages, causing staff to be asked to stay home.
According to the BBC, JLR is suffering losses of roughly £50 million a week.
